An image inspection device includes a mounting unit on which an image projection device that directly projects an image on a retina of a user is to be mounted; a condensing lens that condenses a light beam emitted from the image projection device mounted on the mounting unit; a detector on which an inspection image is projected and detected; and a controller that inspects the inspection image detected by the detector. The image inspection device inspects the image projected by the image projection device, which directly projects the image on the retina of the user.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An image projection device comprising: a mounter on which an image projection device that directly projects an image on a retina of a user is to be mounted; a condensing lens configured to condense a light beam emitted from the image projection device mounted on the mounter; a detector on which an inspection image is to be projected by irradiation with the light beam condensed by the condensing lens and is configured to detect the inspection image; and a controller configured to inspect the inspection image detected by the detector, wherein the detector is movable in a direction vertical to a plane of the detector, and the controller is configured to measure a size of a region of convergence of the light beam by identifying a position of the detector and a size of the inspection image at the position as the detector moves.
2. The image inspection device according to claim 1 , wherein the detector has a planar shape.
3. An image inspection method comprising: projecting an inspection image on a detector by causing a light beam forming the inspection image to be emitted from an image projection device that directly projects an image on a retina of a user, causing the light beam to pass through a condensing lens, and irradiating the detector with the light beam; detecting the inspection image by the detector: inspecting the inspection image detected by the detector; identifying a position of the detector, which detects an image, and a size of the inspection image detected at the position as the detector moves, the detector being movable in a direction vertical to a plane of the detector; and measuring a size of a region of convergence of the light beam by an identified position of the detector and an identified size of the inspection image.
4. The image inspection device according to claim 3 , wherein the detector has a planar shape.
